(Flora's POV)That was probably how life works. Once you let your guard down, it would hit you hard and knock you down. One second I was chatting with Iggy about whether it was worth spending 10.000 dollars, and the next second, we had a car accident. It was a near-death experience for me.When I woke up, I saw a white ceiling and Mable Bell's face. I tried to open my mouth to speak, but I couldn't feel my tongue for a moment."Don't talk. You just had general anesthesia, and the effect hasn't gone away," Mable Bell explained my current situation.I tried my best and could only give a weak nod. Mable Bell gently stroked my head and said softly, "Have some rest… Fortunately, I was nearby when the accident happened. I heard Iggy's cry and rescued you in time. Don't worry. She was in the back seat, and the impact didn't harm her as much as you, only minor injuries. You don't have to worry too much."'How did this happen?' I wondered.Seemingly aware of my question, Mable Bell smiled, "It
(Leo's POV) 'Flora was in a car accident?!' The moment I received the news, I rushed out of the office and headed to the hospital. Along the way, I, an atheist, prayed to God, hoping that nothing would happen to her. However, through the hospital's glass, I saw her with gauze wrapped around her head. Bandages were all over her body. She was hurt so badly!I was so distressed that when I called her, she didn't respond, so I wanted to call a doctor. Unexpectedly, just as I was about to call the doctor over, Flora woke up. I suddenly realized that her injuries were all skin injuries and not that serious. Maybe she just didn't want to see me at the moment. But still, I couldn't just leave her behind. I should care more about her at times like these. "Flora, do you hurt?" I asked."Well, what do you think?" Her emotional rhetorical question left me unable to answer. I just wanted to make sure that she was okay. I didn't expect her to be so disgusted with my concerns. Did I do something wr
(Abbi's POV)I thought I was going crazy too. After seeing Flora in the wedding room, I hated her even more. Most importantly, I didn't think she was still in that house. I thought she wouldn't come, and I just wanted to borrow that big house that night to calm myself down. But as soon as I entered the door, I saw the daily necessities that Leo had prepared for her. I immediately realized that they still had each other in their hearts. Otherwise, Leo wouldn't have prepared these things for Flora if that woman wouldn't stay in that house.What about their divorce? Maybe it was just a quarrel in their love affair. After some time had passed since Ada's death, they would overcome the pain and come together sooner or later.I sat stupidly on the sofa, thinking about Leo's bad habit for me and his good for Flora. My jealousy grew secretly.At that moment, Flora suddenly appeared. She looked so innocent and was surprised, as if she was the mistress of the house and I was a thief who had inv
(Flora's POV)After three days, most of my injuries were almost healed, except the one on my face. I didn't know how it turned out. After all, I hadn't looked in the mirror for three days.At this moment, Mable Bell walked into the room with a mirror and said to me, "Before you look in the mirror, I need to tell you a few things. First, there must be a way to repair the injury on your face, so no matter how bad it is, you don't need to be too sad. Second, don't cry. Tears will only make it harder for the wound to heal. Third, you are still a beautiful woman in my eyes.""Thank you, Mable Bell." I knew she said all this to comfort me. In fact, now that I had no relatives, having Mable Bell by my side during these difficult times made me feel much better as she had been nothing but tender and patient with me. Then, she shoved the mirror into my hand.I finally saw myself again. My face didn't change much, but the area under my right cheekbone was wrapped with thick gauze. I reached out
(Flora's POV)Friday had finally arrived. That day, I packed my luggage in advance, sent Iggy to the pet store, left a message telling Mable Bell that I had to say goodbye to Leo, and left the rental house. When I was about to leave, I glanced back for a while, afraid I wouldn't be coming back this time. I put my luggage in the car and set off.Before dinner time, I tidied up the house, put the items Leo bought for me in the cabinet, checked the empty refrigerator, and prepared to go to the supermarket for grocery shopping. As soon as I went out, I ran into Judy. She looked at me and greeted me warmly as she said, "Hi Flora, I really haven't seen you for a long time. You don't know how much I miss you.""I was busy at work, and I miss you too." Judy and I exchanged a few simple words."What's with the wound on your face?" she asked me.I reached out, covered my face subconsciously, and then said, "It's just a small injury. It will get better."However, my wound was actually quite trou
(Leo's POV)The investigation into Flora's car accident had run into trouble. Even though I had repeatedly emphasized to the police that this case should have been taken seriously, with the available evidence, the murderer still couldn't be found.Although I had already determined that Abbi Miller did it, there was no way to convict her. I even thought about prosecuting her for fraud and putting her in jail. However, compared to attempted murder, this crime was too light. Flora would be very sad when she found out. I didn't want to embarrass Flora anymore. So, I had to send someone to investigate the matter secretly.***On Wednesday, I got a call from Flora. It turned out that she had been discharged from the hospital. However, I didn't expect her to call me to talk about the divorce. I didn't want to divorce her anytime. But, I had come to understand that continuing to keep her beside me would only suffocate her. I fell in love with her completely, so I was willing to sacrifice my
(Flora's POV)After the party, I was sad when I heard Leo talk about the child. Indeed, we had done everything. When I thought that it was our time to be happy, we were then struck by my misfortune. There was no way that we could go back to the past easily. When he and I were married, we had many opportunities to be happy, have children, and become a real family. Yet, we couldn't do that now. We had nothing. Instead, we only had three short days left.Initially, I wanted to do many things with him that I could not do with him. However, the more I thought about it, the more I realized that the peaceful time between us was already enough. After all, we didn't even fight; that was the best thing ever to happen since I was now injured badly.Looking at the mirror before me, I could see how hideous my scar was after I tore off the gauze. Under the gauze, there was a noticeable scar on my face and a thick layer of bloody scab. Although it was only four cm in length, it was so long since it
(Leo's POV)Early the next morning, I woke up because the smell of food tempted me. As I went downstairs and saw Flora, who was busy in the kitchen, I knew she was making breakfast for us. After a while, delicious foods appeared on the table. We sat face to face at the dining table with the steaming dishes between us. Everything was serene, warm, and beautiful. Immediately, I realized that this was what a normal couple did.No matter how badly they fought, they would wake up happy the next day as they ate breakfast together lovingly. Flora and I could do that too if they could do that."Let's eat," she said as she sat on the other side of the table and pointed to the seat in front of her. I noticed the gauze on her face had been removed, but the wound still looked slightly raised. So, I asked her, "Is your injury healed?""No, I just used tape and put on makeup. Is it ugly?" she asked as she forced out a smile. "Don't worry. You've always been so beautiful in my eyes. I just thought
Flora's POVOpening my eyes again, I looked at the unfamiliar surroundings with some despair.I thought I would be able to sleep forever and not need to wake up again.But I'm still dead.Leo didn't kill me.Then I'll have to do it myself.I got up, not expecting to see Abbi, who had been watching me from the sidelines, and realized that I was now in what appeared to be the cabin of an airplane.I don't want to pay any attention to this woman.But she reached out to me and talked to me."Flora, Leo has already told me that you're being irrational and even wanting to die, but I'd advise you that it's best to put that idea to rest.""You're not qualified." I said impatiently.At this time, a trace of confusion appeared on her face before she said, "You really are very different from the you of the past ... Never mind, I have already written the reason while you were unconscious, so you can see for yourself."When she finished, she handed me the book in her hand to read.The handwriting
Leo's POVI decided to give Flora her freedom back.By the time I saw Flora again, things were a little out of control."I'm not going to let you die so easily, I'm going to arrange the most brutal treatment for you, I'm going to make you get electrocuted and shot until you don't have a single piece of good flesh on your body, I'm also going to arrange for you to have an operation but I'm not going to give you a single milliliter of anesthesia, I'm going to make life worse for you and I'm going to make you pay for all of the suffering that I've been put through!"I stopped.Through the thin door of the hospital room, for a moment, I was surprised that I didn't have the strength to push it open again.My mother's voice came to my ears, "You could have tried, Leo wouldn't have let me suffer, he would have killed you when he found out the dirty thoughts inside you!""What do you think, do I even care? Besides he'll be gone soon, he'll go to the Mountain to find me a gift from God, maybe
Flora's POVThe cell phone's message alert chimed.I didn't dare to look at it, but looked at Leo and said somewhat sheepishly, "That ... is pretty good."Luckily, Leo didn't mind my perfunctory remarks and continued."After I leave, take care of yourself and your child; if you have any problems you can call my father, you should have met him. I will leave you all my accounts, of course, not all the money you can withdraw now, some are accounts under the name of the company, and at the end of the year there is usually a dividend on the stock, the dividend goes into a private account, company wise things, you can ask Alva, ask my father as well."He looked at me, his eyes full of tenderness.At this moment, I suddenly understood a little why he never hit on Abbi who was still loves him.Even if there wasn't the slightest bit of love in my heart, I had to admit that he was indeed an excellent man, and even at this juncture where he was about to be sent to his death, he still managed to
(Leo's POV)Abbi Miller told me the terrible things she'd seen and then said with pleading eyes, "Leo, please. Don't go. You can hate me, but I don't want anything to happen to you!"Although Alva said nothing, I knew he probably had the same thought as Abbi Miller. However, I had made my decision.I said, "Alva, take Abbi Miller back and make sure she can't escape again."Alva knew my temper, so he could only take Abbi Miller away first.Unexpectedly, when she reached the door, Abbi Miller grabbed the door frame and shouted, "I've been to the depths of Green Jade Mountain, and I know the way there! Leo, please don't drive me away! I can take you there!""Take her away," I said to Alva.Alva was a werewolf. So naturally, he couldn't allow a human to delay him. Alva shook his head and took Abbi Miller away in silence.Finally, the house was completely quiet. Nick and Betty, who went shopping, returned at that time.When they saw me earlier, they went to the supermarket so that Flora an
(Leo's POV)I was shocked by Mike's words. I never thought that all the twists and turns I went through with Flora were because we were originally cursed lovers!And to solve this problem, I feared I had to go to Green Jade Mountain...When I was thinking, Alva said anxiously, "Leo, don't trust him. He may have lied to you! God left no treasure on the Green Jade Mountain. No one has ever found it, right? That mountain's really dangerous!"Surprisingly, Flora said, "To be honest, I don't think it's worth risking your life. I'm fine as I am. After a year, we'll separate as agreed. I won't take the child with me. There's no need for you to go there. I no longer have feelings for you, so don't try to impress me. At most, you can only make me laugh.""Looks like we have a chicken here," Mike said and sneered.Alva clenched his fists and said, "I'd better take him first, Leo...""No, let him go.""What?""Let him go, Alva. He may have attacked me, but he doesn't pose any threat. On the cont
(Flora's POV)During my trip to the sanatorium, I appeared to have achieved nothing on the surface, but I had learned that Leo agreed to Caitlyn Christian being treated there. It raised suspicions that he would finally let her be treated because he was once very resistant to the medical methods used.When I got home, Leo was already back. Upon seeing me, he asked, "Flora, now you can always raise your baby in peace, right?""Maybe." I frowned. "But Caitlyn Christian's state is worse than I thought. She can't even say a word. This can't be your doing, can it?" I asked him."I've told you, she needs treatment and has been receiving it. She's in a bad state, Flora. The illness is already torturing her. Perhaps she had once done something wrong, but now she's being punished this way with her illness. Seeing her already miserable in this state, can't you give up already?""I don't know. I'm tired, don't talk to me." I said, no longer paying attention to Leo.Leo sighed, then he went to one
(Flora's POV)It was a bright and sunny day. Accompanied by Betty and Nick, we walked our way to the sanatorium. As I learned, Leo picked this very high-end and modern sanatorium equipped with state-of-the-art facilities and professional medical care for Caitlyn Christian. I thought she would have a pleasant and easy time here.Doctors and nurses, all clad in white uniforms, walked past me as I continued to walk. A brief thought came to my mind, and I couldn't help but think, 'What if Mable Bell was one of them?' A female killer lurking in the hospital, disguised as one of the hospital staff, could be interesting but scary too. I thought this and followed the nurses to Caitlyn Christian's ward.There was also a doctor there, and when he saw me, an expression of surprise crossed his face."Flora! It's you! How did you get here!" He looked very excited as if he was meeting an old friend.I was confused and hurriedly explained my memory loss, saying, "I'm sorry, but I'm not the old Flora
(Abbi's POV)I was living on the second floor. There was nothing outside my window that could be used to climb down. I gasped and wondered if my eyes were mistaken when a man suddenly appeared in my room. He was tall and slender, wearing a black trench coat, and his whole body was covered with an ominous aura.He was a werewolf.I realized this almost instantly. And what was more striking was that his features were oddly similar to Mable Bell's. I was scared out of my mind but tried to keep calm."Who are you?" I inquired softly, not even daring to raise my voice.I suddenly remembered the horrible scene where Mable Bell was about to kill me almost instantly."I'm Mike, Mable Bell's brother, and I've been on my sister's trail lately. You knew her, didn't you?" he asked with a sinister smirk.I gulped and hurriedly replied, "I don't know anything about that.""Really? You're not lying to me?" Mike asked, pressing closer to me.As I listened to his words, I couldn't help but think of Ma
(Flora's POV)"You've met George. Can you calm down now?" Leo asked me, his expression slightly annoyed."No, I need to see your mother," I said firmly.Since Mable Bell had been Ilana's chaperone and the two of us had argued about it, it was my understanding that Ilana was a key figure in trying to figure out my past life. Leo had been reluctant to bring up the subject of her mother, and I knew that whatever information he was trying to conceal from me was meaningful. So, I had to see Ilana.As expected, he refused my request by giving a somewhat plausible excuse. "She is sick, and I highly doubt that she'll answer your questions. Furthermore, it's better for her to rest than trying to bombard her with questions."My persistent little brain couldn't accept such an excuse, and I wanted to see her at all costs. So, I insisted, "I didn't say I was going to ask her anything either; I just wanted to see her. Isn't it strange that as your wife, I haven't even seen your mother once?"But Le
